I was always the kid who didn't fit in, no matter how hard I tried. I finally realized that trying to be 'normal' is a good way to destroy your creativity-- I cherish my 'weirdness' because it has allowed me to see things in a different way. Who wants to be a ruby when the world is full of rubies? I'm an expert at being the blue glass-- it's a lonely task sometimes, but I can't pretend to be a ruby.

Wonderful! god made each of us unique, we are the ones who mess it up when we try to be what others think we should, or what we think is better. I learned that when we accept who we are, others will too...;-).
